2. Recap of Re: Zero Season 3, Episode 8

The episode opened with an intense gathering in the city hall, where the characters deliberated on the demands from the Witches’ Cult. The mention of Beatrice as an artificial spirit raised questions about the origins of the Book of Wisdom. To everyone’s surprise, Otto revealed that he had actually brought the Book to Priestella, explaining that it was charred upon arrival and he had sent it for repairs.

Shortly thereafter, Priscilla entered with Liliana, announcing her commitment to join the fight against the Witches’ Cult. Subaru and Otto stepped aside to discuss Otto’s secretive actions. Otto expressed his distrust toward Roswaal, indicating he aimed to read the Book of Wisdom to determine if Roswaal could be relied upon.

After this conversation, Wilhelm approached Subaru with the news that Crusch had regained consciousness and wanted to see him. The visit revealed Crusch’s weakened state due to dragon blood effects, stirring Subaru’s sympathy. He learned that when he touched her, some of her curse could be transferred to him, a gesture that Crusch resisted, reflecting her pride.

Returning to the city hall, the group devised a strategic plan to confront the Witches’ Cult.
